I grew up a big comic book reader, as a kid, and I love the whole fanboy crowd.

Acting was the only place that I ever felt like I belonged so went for it with everything I had.

Every weekend the drama department would have parties. The 20 hot girls on campus? All of them were in the drama dept. So we'd have somebody standing guard at the door to keep all the computer science guys out. We had to guard our women at all times.

Also, to be honest, my dad wanted me to be an athlete. And I think all sons want to prove something to their dad. So now, aged 35, I want to see what I can achieve physically.

I got to L.A. in 2000, when we were coming off the '90s: women looked like men and the men all looked like women.

I actually met Carrie Fisher a couple of years ago. When I told her that she was my first crush, she insisted that we get married and have a reality show about it. I'm lucky to have made it out of that weekend without getting married.

I mean, I feel like I've been pretending I was a werewolf since I was a little kid.
